Oxygen Evolution Reaction Investigation on Pt(111) and Ir(111) Using Dynamic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in Acidic Medium
Résumé
Text: Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE) are promising devices for energy conversion from electricity to chemistry. They are able to deal with important and fast changes in energy production. At the cathode compartment, the hydrogen evolution reaction occurs without kinetic limitation and practically reversibly. Nonetheless, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) which is the anodic reaction remains a scientific challenge due to kinetic limitations and stability issues. Iridium is currently the best compromise between activity and stability [1]. However, it still undergoes degradation in the harsh oxidative and acidic operating conditions of a PEMWE [2].
